In 2017, Joan mir made his adversaries see all the colors that he washed away. Ten victories, no less, were his line that took him to his first world title. A journey sufficiently convincing to open the doors to Moto2 for him within Marc VDS Racing. At 20 years old, he has even more of a future ahead of him as Ducati admits to keeping an eye on his career. And since he is Mallorcan, it all started at the Lorenzo school…
More precisely, it was Jorge’s father who deflowered the subject of the wonderful Joan: “ I started out at Jorge Lorenzo's father's school. I stayed there two years. I was discovering everything and he gave me the basics. However, I was never able to ride with Jorge » specifies the Spaniard on speedweek.
« He showed me how to brake properly and apply the gas properly. He also showed me some tips on the position to have on the bike. I was nine years old then. But the one who helped me the most afterwards and still does is my coach Dani Vadillo. He is a family friend and part of the Majorca Motorcycle Association ».
For 2018, Joan mir returned to SuperMoto, a category he loves. He admits the reasons: “ I had slowed down the SuperMoto because you have to be clean above all on a Moto3. On the other hand, you have to slide more in Moto2 and so I got back into it ". Next year, he will team up with Alex Marquez and will try to learn this new category as quickly as possible to continue its good momentum.
